Here's to falcon punching mother nature.

Such a cruel bitch.

I swear to god if she was a physical being, I would have already done this by now and then elbowed her in the head. Atleast my girlfriend finds it funny that I hate this weather with a passion & thinks it's not L.A. for a reason.

It is February 5th, and there's approx 4 feet of snow still in my yard.
I cannot see my Sc400, as it is completely iced in, the Corolla is surrounded by a 3foot section of snow, and the Cressida... It is going to be a mission to get to where it is to attempt pulling the harness out so I can simplify it.

With all this fucking snow, the garage is currently occupied by snow removal equipment and the motor for my truck.

So far it is a 5cyl 3VZE. The #6 Piston/rod setup is patiently waiting to go in.
To add insult to injury, The Celica took a shit on me today,

I haven't driven the car in a week since I didn't feel like paying a snow plow to make a path for me to and from work.
So...the roads have finally cleared up enough for me to get the car out and drive it around and run my errands.
Driving it home last night, the alternator locks up & the voltage regulator seems to be fried as the car comes to a slow halt on the Grand Central Parkway.


The death toll for project Daily awesome...
1. Neg. Lead for the battery that melted.
1. Battery, as it seems its on its way out.
1. Alternator.
1. Agitated owner, who is tired of this weather.

Well, Tomorrow is another day & I should be able to get an reman unit locally.
Maybe if i'm lucky enough I can install the fog lamps that have been sitting on the backseat for a little while now.

I must say.. even though many beg to differ, I do like the way the Celica looks even though it is not currently running lol.
I put on my Yakima roof rack & threw on some 30mm spacers I had laying around the garage on the stock steelies. The Starsharks are on my snowmobile corolla currently.



I adore it.























So yea, if I have not relayed enough about how much I hate this weather... let me fill you in a little on why I am so ticked off.

I work outside 8 hours a day, doesn't matter weather conditions
The MX63 project is on hold cause of this shit storm
The 4runner motor is on hold cause of this also
The JZX73 is on hold till it clears up
I haven't been able to start my Corolla up in a 6 weeks,
the Sc4 has not been driven since mid December
& The Celica's alternator took a shit since it got flooded with snow & rain from driving through this mess.

ugh... California cannot come sooner.
And on a side note...































Spring awaits sheer awesomeness :D...
